Actually, it's probably the best when all things are considered. (All things being, in my book, the fish and the chips... both are out of this world!) I'm just amazed that this is such a little known secret!!! Why has nobody else thought to mention them here?!?! By the way... these guys have been doing what they are doing since 1969! Yan inherited the business from his father when he retired. Yan's is not an established brand that has passed through several people's hands, like so many of the other fish and chip shops. This is the real deal! Wakey, wakey Cardiff! These guys have won awards! They are one of three fish and chip shops in the country to win the annual Frymax award! This means that their food tastes a good deal better than most other fried food outlets, and is a whole lot healthier! And if that's not worth going a little way out of your way to pick up your fish supper, I don't know what is! As for you students out there... sorry, but there's no discount here! But if you buy one less Babycham over the weekend, you'll be able to afford one of the best nosh ups of your life!

The chip's are always cooked to perfection when I've been there and their fish is always cooked from fresh each day still a five star chippy. Parking is not too bad there are dedicated parking spaces outside on the sie of the road and the other side of the road to park so it' s not too difficult to pop in and collect an order. There is an eat in facilty available with tables and chairs as well. The menu has it's usual items on and are of very good quality. The prices are moderate and not the cheapest but you do get what you are paying for. The walls now contain pictures of the youngers process of making fish 'n' chips from start to finish just to reassure you the quality you getting !

Once, upon opening the lush smelling bag, my life literally flashed before my eyes! I thought i had dies. Award winning, Amazingly perfect Albony fish shop holds a dear place in my grease covered heart. The one bit of beef i have with this place is the sheer amount of people, day in day out have exactly the same idea as myself to get their supper fix here. You've always got to queue but my bloody god is it worth it! (Like i said a piece of heaven in a box!) There's something super special about having your fish and chips in a box, like your getting a gift, which is pretty much what you are getting. Go on treat yourself, i'll see you there!

I got home to find my cooked-to-order hake was an inedibly tough block you could hardly cut most of it and certainly not eat it. I presume undercooked, but never had fish like it. The batter was soggy and greasy and the chips at best average. Avoid at all costs.

I've mentioned in my review for Noble House that they serve the third best noodles in Cardiff. You…read moremay have read in my review of Ichiban that their noodles-that-aren't-technically-chow-mein is the second best noodle dish in the city. I expect by now you're eagerly awaiting my recommendation for the best, most expertly made, most delicious and plentiful chow mein in Cardiff. Well here it is. To give you a sense of how good this takeaway is, let me explain my living situation. I lived in Roath with three other friends, down the road from the Heath Kitchen. It was the local takeaway. Then I moved down the Bay, living with my girlfriend and a friend of mine. Lovely place, but she was sad we couldn't get Heath Kitchen food delivered. We found a new house; a place just for me and her to love and make into our own home. The thing she was happiest about? "Wait, we're in Roath again, aren't we? WE CAN GET HEATH KITCHEN!" So yes, it's a place that tends to leave an impression. But, as always, Chinese takeaway is often a case of horses for courses. What are my top three noodles in Cardiff may not be yours. If you debate my choices, I encourage you to tell me so I can try them for myself.

The food isn't the best I've ever had but it is still really good. The service is really fast too (though obviously you'll have to wait a bit longer on Fridays and Saturdays, as with everywhere). The prices are pretty good too - again, not the cheapest that I've come across but it's very reasonable. All in all, I think that this place has the potential to be even better. Sometimes the rice can be a little bit starchy but it's got all the right ideas!

Something that just doesn't seem to exist in Cathays is a good fish and chip shop. Sure, there are…read moremore places that sell fish and ships than I 've ever seen before in my life. But they are all essentially kebab shops that sell some extra bits. I find this quite hard to cope with sometimes. I'm a girl who loves her carbohydrates (I gave up crisps for Lent... it did not go well...) but they must be GOOD carbohydrates. By that I mean, I would always choose a chunky chip over a fry (though I would, of course, choose a fry over a vegetable) because there's so much more to it. Cathays Fish Bar is edging towards this, and I am so happy about it. Whilst it is just like every other take-away in every other way, it is the chips that excel them to the front of the pack. Prices are pretty average - around £1-2 - and the service is pretty good. It's just that I've fallen in love with that slightly greasy, soft, light, chip!

I can't believe no one has reviewed Uncle Sam's yet! It's a bit of a classic American fast food…read moretakeaway right in the heart of Studentville, on Crwys Road (in Cathays/Roath). It has been going for years, and has managed to hold on to its fine reputation for decent quality and value for money throughout that time. It IS rather tiny, however, so it's possible you could easily walk past and miss it - but once you've been there once for food, you'll be a complete convert. Basically, they do American fast food - mainly burgers. It's not healthy, and it's not complicated, but what they do they do very well. The belly-busting All American 1/2 pound burger with fries and a tub of blue cheese sauce seems to go down well with meat-eaters, while there's a generously proportioned veggie option for people like me who don't eat beef. They also do chicken and pizza, but to be honest if you go to Uncle Sam's it should be for a burger, because that's what they do best. Excellent value for money!

The restaurant is tiny and like other reviews have said it so easy to miss, so its beggars belief how such a small place can churn out such big and hearty portions of food. The price is ok but that is completely offset by taste of the food, as the juicy and flavourful chicken engulfs your taste buds. Of course chicken is not for everyone and they do have plenty of other dishes on the menu such as huge burgers (which have appeared to been given a real shout in other reviews) and pizza but honestly I personally think Uncle Sam's rules the roost!
